It is not going to be too easy for the DC corrupt gang to take over this country. The economy is getting worse. As a result the legal Hispanics who are not radicals want to ship back the illegals and many illegals are leaving or have left. Here in Austin the economy has gotten worse even though a number of businesses and wealthy people have moved in the area.
Also the DC gang is not united on an ideology other than getting rich and monopolizing power. The “intellectuals” in their coalition have a green religion and a leftist ideology but they are for the most part not in the inner circle. Same holds for the scribblers and talking heads in the media. They are tools and the tv heads make a good living but are mainly content to be allowed into the clubs of the powerful.
They believe in “soft power” and despise the military and police other than tax police. They act the way university administrators act by issuing memos and rules. Academics (I am one) are generally are loners not adapted to the real world so they do not know how to form coalitions to avoid or cheat the rules.
The gang wants to form a voter block of people who depend on the government but the tax revenues and the debt will not give the gang enough loot to keep the rent seekers in line. A similar game being played in the UK is coming apart. The UK will soon not be able to sell their gilts (bonds). Ireland is bankrupt and school teachers have been fired.
It is going to get uglier but I believe that we are more likely to have a type of French Revolution than a takeover by Obama and his handlers.
